The Traveling Bookbox Show

An unusual touring exhibition of book-themed shadowboxes. Many are now being housed at The Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History in California.“I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Pippi Longstocking

Pippi, beyond her braids, mismatched socks and flair for the outrageous, made an impression on me because she somehow opened windows into a grown-up world. A heroic AND tragic absent father... who was King of the Cannibals! A girl who had the strength and confidence to lift a horse!
